A Universe With No End book 1

Chapter 2: Jerry

   Tes lay there on the ground, his eyes closed. Laying there he felt sand, and the power of the sun beating down on him. He opened his eyes, all around were skyscrapers cutting through the ground, the roar of an ocean in the distance. Tes stood up dumbfounded. "What the fuck!!!" Tes walked abound examining all the buildings, and the crowds of aliens that walked around. There were streets between each building and each street was split in half by a river, and each river lead to the ocean. Tes walked down one street, following the rivers current. A few minutes later he reached the beach. Tes turned around and faced the skyscrapers, walking back in awe, he saw the depth of the city. Tes continued walking backwards eventually stumbling down into a pit.

The pit was 6 feet tall and was more of a doorway with a metal floor. Tes landed with a thunk as a metallic hatch shut over the pit. Tes sat up examining the room, the room was large and looked like a workshop, a blue light shone from another room. "Alright who the fuck is it?!" A voice yelled from another room. Tes heard a hatch open followed by footsteps, that's when he noticed the source of the voice. It was a large creature around 7 feet tall, his head was a large blue crystal with a fin jutting out of the right side, crystals growing out of his left side. And one dark slit for an eye. He wore a uniform like jacket and a holster attached to his belt. He picked Tes up by the collar of his shirt. "What in God's name are you doing here?!" He yelled dropping Tes on a beaten up couch. "I fell...." Tes mumbled as the figure paced back and forth swearing under his breath. "Well shit now I have more weight which means I need more fuel..... dammit!" Tes got up and walked around as the figure argued with himself. walking towards the room with the blue light. The hatchway opened up to reveal a cockpit, in front of which lay a vast sea of water. "Hey uh, sir?" Tes called from inside, "We don't need any extra fuel."

The creature stumbled forward mumbling. "What?" "I said we don't need any more fuel." Tes responded hopping into the main seat of the cockpit. "What the hell are you talking about?!" The creature yelled "All we need is to charge the generators to 25 miles per hour." Tes responded. "That should only take 10 seconds." Tes continued. "Ten seconds but I think a minute of calculations." The creature yelled back running to an engine room, moving around pipes and wires. Tes stared into the vast ocean as he noticed two sea-generators two feet to the left of him. "Have you tried getting a pulse on the''SeaGens ''?'' Tes yelled from the back room " and also why are you doing this? And why am I helping you?" "Good questions" the creature responded, running into the open cockpit and tapping around till the two SeaGens turned on. " after all, you don't even know me, or how you got here." " The names Tes, a teleporter malfunctioned right before I died and now I'm here." Tes said watching a bar on the control board rising. "The names Jerry." The creature said hopping into the command seat. As the bar hit the roof of the ship a large handle popped up from a mechanism in front of jerry.

Mechanics whirred overhead as Jerry gripped a button on the side of the handle.

The ship shook as a deep bellow raiders from the engine room. Tes sat down as Jerry let go and pushed the handle over. As soon as he lifted up the button all doors shut, pushing the lever forward the engines ignited blasting out of the small outcove. As the SeaGens swirled around the ship gained speed and lifted from the ocean behind the city. Jerry cheered as the ship sunk into the sky still gaining speed, once the ship hit 120 miles per hour, Jerry pulled the lever back as the ship blasted itself into space, becoming a mere ghost to everyone who wasn't inside.
